Urgh, One More Reason for Her to Think Herself a Queen

A movie about Cleopatra is reportedly in the works for Angelina Jolie to star in.

Super-producer Scott Rudin has purchased the film rights to an upcoming biography titled Queen of the Nile, Cleopatra: A Life, which “is being developed for and with Jolie.”

The Egyptian ruler was famously played by Elizabeth Taylor in a lavish 1963 film (La Taylor’s real-life love, Richard Burton, played Marc Anthony).

Jolie will next be seen in Salt late next month.

Update: She’s doing it, alright. Since La Jolie radiates the grace and the power the role calls for, she has signed on to play Cleopatra.

I cannot wait to see how the tabs spin this into a poor-Jennifer Aniston story.
